20% Health Buff Removed from Heroic Raids - MoP Remix Hotfixes
The secret 20% Health and damage buff in Heroic raids from yesterday's hotfixes has been removed.
Earlier today, we revealed that Heroic raid bosses had a secret 20% health and damage buff for players that were over 406 item level equipped. This has now been removed and the curve has been flattened. Once again, these are not hard breakpoints but a sliding scale based on your item level.
- At 371 equipped or below (388 in each gear slot), bosses have 20% less health and deal 30% less damage.
- At 388 equipped (415.2 in each gear slot), bosses are the same as before the hotfix.
- At 406 equipped or above (444 in each gear slot), bosses have 20% more health and deal 20% more damage are the same as before the hotfix.
Now bosses will gain 0.57% health and 0.86% damage per 1 item level. This is a MUCH lower slope and thus gearing up will always gain you much more power, especially when you consider Tinkers and Threads.
However, it seems like the 369 Cheese still works and will nerf a boss by 20% for almost no loss — jewelry pieces are such low item level and provide so little stats (total of 873 secondary stats and some Stamina), you lose almost nothing for removing them.
